State Representative Chas Cannon has expressed his approval of a recent grant awarded to the Moultrie Colquitt County Parks and Recreation Authority. The $5,000 Project Grant, announced by the Georgia Council for the Arts (GCA), will support an Active Adults Arts & Crafts project in Colquitt County.
“The award of this grant is a testament to the value that the Moultrie Colquitt County Parks and Recreation Authority brings to our citizens,” said Rep. Cannon. “I’m grateful that organizations in our district are competing for the critical financial resources they need to continue providing recreational opportunities to the members of our community. I am proud to see Colquitt County recognized in this meaningful way.”
The GCA recently distributed over $1.3 million in competitive grants across 49 counties through its General Operating Support, Project, and Arts Education Program grants. These funds come from appropriations by the Georgia General Assembly and the National Endowment for the Arts. A total of 177 grants were awarded during GCA’s initial disbursements for fiscal year 2026.
GCA aims to empower Georgia’s arts industry and artists, fostering communities rich in civic participation, cultural experiences, and economic prosperity. As part of the Georgia Department of Economic Development, it provides statewide grant funding and services that support this industry while preserving cultural heritage.
